Imagining CRISPR Cures | Fyodor Urnov | TEDxBerkeley
Fyodor Urnov explores the future of CRISPR and how it has the potential to save lives. Professor Fyodor Urnov is a Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and is a Director at its Innovative Genomics Institute, leading the Center for Translational Genomics and directing the Technology & Translation division. A pioneer in the field of therapeutic genome editing, Fyodor’s research focuses on advancing genome editing technology and pushing the boundaries of how it can be applied to solve real-world biomedical problems. In his work at Sangamo Therapeutics (2000-16), Fyodor and colleagues demonstrated the first use of native gene editing in human cells and coined the term “genome editing.” Fyodor then led collaborative teams to establish at-scale applications of genome editing for human somatic cell genetics and model animal and crop reverse genetics. Fyodor was a key member of the team that developed the first-in-human clinical application of genome editing (2009), and then led a from basic discovery to clinic an approach to use gene editing to treat the hemoglobinopathies, beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease, that has resulted in sustained clinical benefit for over 70 individuals. At the IGI, Fyodor focuses on establishing turnkey editing of the human genome for clinical use and make CRISPR-based treatments for genetic disease broadly and equitably available on-demand. He works in collaborative teams to develop first-in-human applications of experimental CRISPR-based therapeutics for sickle cell disease, genetic disorders of the immune system, radiation injury, neuroinflammation, and neurological disorders. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I have a son he has been diagnosis with Ethylmalonic encephalopathy disease which is less than hundred people in the world they have this disease. My son is four years and eight months old he is mildly affected. Our hope is this gene therapy will be available soon and it can save our sons life.
Raise awareness. This is the future.
Every day my mind is blown by our Technologies and passionate people in the world, making these things possible. Thankfully the good guys do eventually find their way. 🎉
This is excellent. No one knows who will develop a disease in the future. It’s important the solution is there before not after

Your speak made me cry at the beigning
Thank you for information and bringing awareness of "Health Justice". Health justice is necessary because it, all we would be left with INFINITE GREED OF UNSUSTAINABLE HUMAN SOCIETY
Thank you for championing the possibility of cure, I watched this with a ton of hope. I have to say your words are powerful but it's extremely hard to impossible to find anyone on this planet who can offer cure via crispr now. Just a bunch of videos saying we must do this. There are illnesses that can be cured now but it doesn't happen. Probably won't happen in the lifetime for many people dying right now. How do we really change this now?

Is CRISPR being studied for use in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis patients yet?

I have Thallasaemia heterogeneous, Hyperthyroidism, Sjogren, autoimmune diseases, kidney stones, vascular retinal occlusion. Can I get any treatment ?
Wouldn’t this be easy to fix NF1?
Need allogenic options.

Love the idea of CRISPR in a perfect world, but this brings up concerns and raises important questions about access and equity. If gene editing becomes widely available, it could create new forms of social and economic inequality, with only the wealthy and privileged able to afford the treatments and enhancements that come with CRISPR technology.

He literally just talked about how to make it affordable. I swear, Americans have watched too many movies and think that movie plots occur in real life.
